Description
Seymour Duncan Mark Holcomb Scarlet Neck 7-String Black Cover Pickup
The Mark Holcomb Scarlet neck pickup delivers tight, articulate response with controlled dynamics—engineered to capture clean harmonic definition on extended-range 7-string instruments while maintaining punch in high-gain recording sessions. This ceramic magnet pickup excels at tracking fast picking passages and complex chord voicings, making it ideal for progressive metal and djent production work.
Tone & Output Character
With a measured DCR of 8.36k ohms, the Scarlet neck maintains clarity across the frequency spectrum without sacrificing body or presence in the mix. The ceramic magnet construction produces a focused, responsive output that cuts through dense arrangements and sits well alongside other instruments during overdub sessions and post-production mixing.
Electronics & Integration
Built as a passive pickup with 4-conductor shielded cabling, the Scarlet integrates seamlessly into existing guitar electronics without requiring active circuitry. The shielded construction minimizes noise during recording, while the four-conductor design allows for flexible wiring options and potential series/parallel switching to tailor tone during tracking.
